In the past couple of weeks my family has seen the passing of two integral members. We have reminisced, we have laughed, we have looked at pictures and we have weeped. As hard as it has been, the truth is, that our dearly departed loved ones are in a much better place than we are! Yes, we are sad that they are no longer here in the physical. However, rejoicing about the fact that they are no longer struggling through immense pain ought to give us gratification and peace of mind! Yes, it hurts now. Yes, some of us are going through the questioning of God as to why. Yes for some of us anger has replaced our feelings of sympathy! But know that God understands our hearts and has a hand on our shoulder! Our loves ones will be with us always through the smiles on the faces of their offspring, through the photos that stand the test of time and through the memories of the words that remain in our thoughts! It may be difficult now, but as we all know "God will never give us more than we can handle"! God Loves You and So Do I!!!!
